Hi

I'm only 16 yrs old and I have a bunion on both of my feet. I have never worn tight shoes. I think it is heriditary because my Mum has one, yet she developed it from wearing tight shoes. What can I do? I don't want surgery but I'm scared Ill develop something awful in the future like arthritis...please help someone!
its awfully embarrassing as well.
